Eureka!

Did I say Eureka? That's what I'm talking about Eureka Stamps, that is. I think everyone will be making a STAMPEDE - I FOUND IT! I FOUND IT! EUREKA! We have two sponsors for the Die Cut Divas August challenge, Eureka Stamps and QKR Stampede.Eureka Stamps is the sister company of QKR Stampede and offers wonderful hand drawn calligraphy, verses, large alphabet letters and backgrounds There are fine art animals, whimsical Valentine characters and lots of cute Christmas and birthday stamps for cat and dog lovers too.

I followed Paula's fantastic sketch for the month of August. You have to love it and enter our August challenge.

I love the digital parchment stamp as there is so much you can do with it. The image is blank the parchment devoid of writing or any inscription. It feels like a fresh slate on which to hand-write your thoughts with an old-fashioned fountain pen. Eureka Stamps offers both rubber and digital stamps. The Scroll Frame below comes in both. I think this would work well in a vintage style card too. Don't you?

About Me

I never crafted until my sons were 8, 10 and 12. I found ceramics and with a neighbor, purchased green ware, painted, baked in my kiln and marketed on a local scale, to Flower Shops all sorts of unique ceramics. Their pianos were especially noted. Lots of dust and downward swing in the economy lowered my interest in this activity.
I tried a craft that took up less space, beading. That is still interesting, but not as much as creating paper projects, especially cards.
My oldest stamp is dated 1995. It was an off and on love, but finally, a couple years ago, I became an avid card maker.
There is a saying among card makers, “There is never enough paper”. I am now saying “NO” to paper because there is enough paper for now… well, down to one page a month for awhile.
